Getting there from here…

Most great cities have a brand that's developed organically

� Paris around romance

� Hong Kong around trade

� Los Angeles around entertainment.

For many cities, it's impossible to sum up the brand in a word — they're multi-dimensional and also changing. So trying to create city brands artificially is a dangerous and, sometimes, presumptuous business.

New York has succeeded at this with "I love New York"

Getting there from here…

� New York is probably the world's greatest branded city. It is driven by a combination of single-minded leadership about what New York is: an eclectic mixture of people, who have the potential to realise their dream.

� NYC means a "can-do" attitude that manifests itself in everything from towering skyscrapers to customer service. This combination is so admired that it seamlessly gets branded on anything from a baseball cap to a coffee mug.

Getting there from here…

• Branding a city is not just about the logo but the intricate details — as small as clean streets and as deep as getting a city's residents to feel proud to be brand ambassadors. When citizens are proud, visitors are encouraged to find out what the fuss is all about and then tell the world.

• Look at the key assets.

• The magic formula is to make something about the city tangible and make people switch on to that —location, for example.

Conclusion: Be a great city,and therefore a great brand.

Economic development

While there is no one magic metric, research suggests some

nations are better positioned for economic growth than

others…

Four of a city’s core systems play a crucial role in the

attraction and expansion of skills and innovation

To be successful in the long term, cities must create

strategies focused on addressing competitive strengths and weaknesses…

City Brand and Value Proposition

Developing Unique Strengths

Addressing Competitive Weaknesses

What can be the distinctive competitive position of the

region or city given its assets, location and potential strengths?

• What elements of the business environment can be distinctive strengths relative to

peers?

• What strong and emerging industry

sectors can be built upon?

• What weaknesses must be addressed to improve competitiveness position relative to

peer locations?

…and setting implementation priorities!

Future Cities

A city of the future…

• Must be environmentally sustainable, must

deal with mobility and integration of its

people, has to be socially integrated and has

to use technology to be present - 24/7, no

distance, no barriers

• Eduado Paes – Mayor of Rio de Janeiro

What is digital futures?

• It’s about– how cities can harness technology and broad-

based communications to transform people lives, in the way they interact together and with the world

– competitive advantage in the global economy…..The Asian Century

– new business models and innovation across systems, processes and “mindsets” for industry and communities

– Highly engaged and connected citizens

Over a billion people worldwide log on to social networking sites.
